What guests say
We booked three rooms for six of us on a family vacation, and we could not have been happier with this hotel. Some of the reviews complained about the size of the room, but we have been in multiple hotels across Europe, and these rooms are certainly not small in comparison. As other reviews have indicated, the location of this hotel is perfect; however, the best thing about this hotel was the staff and the service they provided. There was always a “good morning” when we came downstairs for the day and we were greeted at the door every time we came into the hotel. The restaurant staff at our morning breakfast was also just fantastic. Our experience could not have been better and when we come back to Edinburgh, we will book this hotel immediately - no looking around at other hotels for us!

Lovely hotel right in the heart of Edinburgh. The location is just perfect; almost everything is a walkable distance away! We were even able to come back in the middle of the day to drop things off, since the location was so central to everything. The staff was lovely; very friendly and helpful at all times. The decor of the lobby is charming, with chandeliers and velvet chairs. The room itself was great; nice and spacious. The bed was large and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious, but the shower doesn't really have a door, just a pane of glass which was maybe a little too small, because you had to be careful of how you positioned the shower head to not get the floor all wet. The breakfast option was very convenient. The selection of items was large, and everything was delicious. Some items that stood out were the smoked mackerel and the black pudding. Everything was fresh and plentiful; granted, we went there pretty early in the day, about 7-8 am. The only downside about this hotel is that the carpeting needs a little love; the carpet of the hallways and in the room looks like it needs a good, deep cleaning.

Wonderful hotel. Excellent service from the staff. They were able to get us into the hotel early, which was nice since we just flew in. They include breakfast and the breakfast is excellent. Make sure to get to full Scottish breakfast! The location is pretty nice since it is central to most places. 10 min walk to Edinburgh castle. A lot of good food options as well. Highly recommend this spot.

One of my favorite lodgings. Excellent location. Rooms can very greatly in size. Beds are very comfortable. The amenities are excellent beverages(coffe, tea, water, hot chocolate and biscuits) shower and bath products are nice but, too fragrant. Hidden gem is a free audio tour you can download from your TV in the guest services section.
